You Have Storm Damage

Now what?

There are many ways that a storm can impact your Trumbull or Monroe home.  You need to know what to look for and steps to take after the weather has made its way away from your home.

Safety first

When you see the state of your home after storm damage, it is easy to focus on the issues that you see.  But you need to ensure the safety of your family first.  Make sure that everyone is safe and uninjured.  Tend to any health issues at this point.  To lessen the risk of injury, stay away from windows and doors as the storm is occurring in your area.  

Inspect utility lines

After the storm has ended or moved along, inspect your gas, water, and electricity lines for any damage. If you observe damage and are able to turn off the lines safely, do so at this point.  This will mitigate the risk for more damage to your home or business. It will also limit the risk of injury from any issues like a fire starting or electrocution from exposed wiring.

Call the professionals

You should call your insurance company to advise them of the situation, and begin the claims process.  This is the first step to getting your home restored to preloss condition. Next, you should call a remediation company like SERVPRO.  We have the skilled technicians and specialized equipment needed for your storm damage remediation needs.  That’s why SERVPRO of Trumbull, Monroe & Northern Bridgeport should be your first call.
